spec-to-code-compliance

spec-to-code-compliance is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from stefaniuk/loadout. It costs 56 tokens per session (1,628 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A comparison workflow for checking whether code matches an authoritative specification or design document. A specification describes intended behavior, while the code shows what the system actually does.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit implementations against whitepapers, protocols, design notes, or documented guarantees and classify each mismatch as a code or documentation issue.
Why use it?
It reveals requirements the code satisfies, contradicts, omits, or adds without documentation.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

spec-to-code-compliance scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 116 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Spec-to-Code Compliance

Two artifacts disagree, and the job is to find where. The documentation says what the system does; the code decides what it actually does. Every gap between them is either a bug or a documentation fix, and which one it is is the finding.

When to Use

You have both documentation describing intended behavior and the code that should implement it. A whitepaper against a protocol, a design note against a service, a README's stated guarantees against the functions behind them.

Most useful when the document is authoritative — something a client wrote, published, or is audited against — because then a divergence is a defect rather than stale prose.

When NOT to Use

Not for code with no documentation of intended behavior. There is nothing to check against, and a requirement inferred from the code is checked against itself. Build the system model first with audit-context-building.

Not for finding bugs in general. This finds one class: where the code and the document disagree. A bug both artifacts are silent about is out of scope, and a bug the document endorses is a finding against the document.

Not for writing or improving documentation, though it produces the list of what needs fixing.

Do not check requirements in this context

Run /spec-to-code-compliance:spec-compliance <path>. The slash command takes a path; to name the specification directly or widen the fan-out, ask for the run with those values — "run spec-compliance on ./contracts against SPEC.md, checking 20 requirements" — and they reach the script as {path, spec, limit}. Typing the object literally after the slash command does not work; it arrives as a string and becomes the path.

It finds the documents, splits them into individually checkable requirements, gives each requirement its own agent to hunt the code with, has independent agents try to refute every divergence before it is reported, and writes spec-compliance/REPORT.md plus one file per requirement under spec-compliance/requirements/. Only compact records come back here.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
